Researchers,
I have a meta-research question :) … does anyone know if a list of techniques for researching wikis (both qualitatively and quantitatively) has been collected anywhere? I'm envisioning an annotated bibliography format of research techniques and the various studies that have used them to date, though other formats would be possible. I haven't seen such a compilation anywhere and was thinking of putting one together (realizing that it's an ambitious project!) Have any of you done such a thing already, know if it's been done already, or have thoughts about such a project?
cheers, phoebe

Phoebe,
there's an excellent wiki research bibliography run by Jakob Voss and Patrick Danowski (amongst others) at http://bibliography.wikimedia.de/ (read only access) - use it to search articles by keyword, author, etc. If you can't find what you're looking for there, and you find articles elsewhere that would be suitable, it would be an idea to apply for write access to add these articles. I'm currently doing a literature review (but not totally wiki based stuff) for my research and I really should get around to adding whatever I find too ;-) (Do you have access yourself to online resources via Athens login or some other such system?)

If you need something more specific (list of researchers, list of conferences, list of result-in-a-sentence, list of data sources...) then I'd prefer http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research - it's not up to date but it's a wiki so just change it ;-)

Unfoutunately Wikindx is not a real wiki (no version history, no revert but the software is still beeing improved) but all of you are invited to add, sort and annotate records in the bibliography. You need a bit of discipline but should be for profit for all of us. I just added Cormagg and Phoebe.
Greetings, Jakob
Beat Honegger does resarch on Wikis, he has a really interesting bibliography site. It's in German, but here's the page that lists entries tagged "wiki." You need to scroll down to the bottom of the page for the list.
